Then He declared, "IT IS FINISHED." This book is a personalized message to you from God. You are not reading this by chance. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords gave us His power. He forgave us all once and for all, of all of our sins: past, present, and future by being brutally beaten and executed on the cross to ransom us from the cost of our sins. He freely paid for our salvation and gave us ALL things that pertain to life and Godliness. He destroyed illness by dying from every disease known and unknown to man at one time on the cross. He gave us dominion and power over all of the power and forces of the evil one so that now nothing shall harm us in any way. He gave us the ability to gain wealth, and He gave us a life of divine prosperity Our beloved King suffered the indignity of leaving His throne in heaven to walk the earth as a human, being tempted at all points as are we, yet not sinning. He was tortured to death by vicious brutal Roman soldiers, skilled in the art of pain infliction. He suffered the worst, most painful death anyone ever had or ever will. Why? BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU THAT MUCH!

Book excerpt: A Black man wrongly convicted of murder attempts to rebuild his life and bring the real killer to justice, in this historical novel based on a true story. In the summer of 1932, Ben Jordan was wrongfully accused of killing a white pastor in Georgia. After a hasty trial, he was sentenced to a life of grueling labor on a chain gang and abuse at the hands of brutal wardens. But now, with his forty-year prison sentence completed, Ben is finally returning home. As he struggles to understand the profound changes the world has undergone, some things remain painfully the same—including the hateful animosity towards Black people and the fact that the real murderer is still living the life of a genteel southerner. Working to rebuild his life and see justice served, Ben faces one confrontation after another—with friend, foe, and a daughter who thinks he is dead. In this novel based on a real Depression Era murder case, author and Georgia historian Stephen Doster presents a vividly accurate depiction of Jim Crow’s long and painful legacy.

Download or read book FALLING IN LOVE AT THE END OF THE ROAD written by Ronald John Vierling and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-25 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Most Unlikely Likely American Tale Appearances can be deceptive. First impressions can be misleading. People who might seem so different that they could never become a couple sometimes turn around and fall in love. Perhaps that’s part of what makes the world interesting. Falling in Love at the End of the Road is that kind of story. A young, unmarried Haitian woman, Isabel Jean, fleeing with her ten-year-old daughter as far away from the dangers of violent abuse as she can – all the way to Ely, Minnesota – crosses paths with a mature Caucasian widower, Samuel Woolf, who has lived in lonely isolation in his family’s lake house for two years following his beloved wife’s death. Initially drawn together by her financial and his emotional needs, as time passes, they discover their apparent ethnic differences are superficial; their psychological similarities are profound. However, be advised: while this tale might initially appear predictable and simple, it is, in fact, deceptively compelling and complex – as compelling as the heroine and hero’s evolving relationship and as complex as the surprising if terrifying climax. Isabel Ebony Jean and Samuel Singer Woolf may well be the most unlikely likely couple modern readers have ever had the experience of meeting. Joyce Davidsen M.Ed., University of Central Florida

Download or read book The Last Paradise written by Michael Kasenow and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-02-11 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glorious in scope, The Last Paradise follows the downtrodden and oppressed people of Galveston, Texas, through trials of injustice and bigotry in post-Civil War America. Debut novelist Michael Kasenow artfully weaves a tapestry of vivid and historic detail in this inspiring story of strength and survival. During the beginning of the twentieth century, the alley people in Galveston band together against racism, prejudice, and poverty hidden within the hypocrisy of civic and corporate corruption. Men and women such as Fanny, Maxwell, Newt, Bishop, Elma, the prostitutes and nuns of St. Marys, and the puckish poor who hang out at Bleachs Tavern journey through self-discovery in their attempt to find their places in the changing landscape of a modernizing world. The men and women of the alley refuse to capitulate to the rich and privileged, drawing instead upon their inner strength and character instilled by their upbringing in frontier America. Yet they fight to be the free men and women demanded by their courageous spirits, even in the midst of turmoil. Rich with stunning depictions of turn-of-the century Galveston and the devastation wrought by the Great Hurricane of 1900, The Last Paradise illuminates resilience and fortitude of the great city itself, brought about by the same strengths held by its common citizens. Humorous, evocative, and sobering, this breathtaking novel is an adventure that encompasses the human soul.
Download or read book Coyote written by G. Lawrence and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evelyn is a woman with a past. Haunted by mistakes, taunted by her travails and tormented by the unspeakable sin of seducing her father when she was barely a teenager. As the relationship between her and her father became unbearable, she ran away from him, and the streets of New York, only to become a daughter of the streets of Philadelphia. Her life now controlled by drugs and dominated by MICHAEL, a man who doubled as her boyfriend and her pimp...and eventually the man who murdered her best friend. Even though she suspected that he was GREGORY’S killer, she couldn’t prove it. Her theory was as weak as she was. Yet, when he threatened her life and the life of her unborn child, she found strength within her that she never knew existed and was forced to execute him. She had no relationship with God and her relationships with people were few, but the circle of friends she did have, proved to stand the test of time. KENNY, the gay, flamboyant owner of a modeling agency. JOUSCAR, the lover, the “indoor sportsman” and real estate mogul who was among the first to teach her things about sex in the city. MADDELYN, Gregory’s high class, cosmopolitan sister and one of the pioneers in the field of surrogacy. And YVETTE, her “conscience”, remained faithful and trusting throughout her ordeal. Accepting her for who she was. Being there for her. Enter JASON, the stranger, a man who could have conceivably been her guardian angel. The man who introduced her to God and a new way of life. A spiritual way of life guided by faith and belief in God. Evelyn’s trials and tribulations are not unlike those of real people in the real world. Hers, differing only by an epiphany involving yet another animal - the COYOTE!

Download or read book Our Portion of Hell written by Robert Hamburger and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Portion of Hell: Fayette County, Tennessee: An Oral History of the Struggle for Civil Rights offers an unrivalled account of how a rural Black community drew together to combat the immense forces aligned against them. Author Robert Hamburger first visited Fayette County as part of a student civil rights project in 1965 and, in 1971, set out to document the history of the grassroots movement there. Beginning in 1959, Black residents in Fayette County attempting to register to vote were met with brutal resistance from the white community. Sharecropping families whose names appeared on voter registration rolls were evicted from their homes and their possessions tossed by the roadside. These dispossessed families lived for months in tents on muddy fields, as Fayette County became a “tent city” that attracted national attention. The white community created a blacklist culled from voter registration rolls, and those whose names appeared on the list were denied food, gas, and every imaginable service at shops, businesses, and gas stations throughout the county. Hamburger conducted months of interviews with residents of the county, inviting speakers to recall childhood experiences in the “Old South” and to explain what inspired them to take a stand against the oppressive system that dominated life in Fayette County. Their stories, told in their own words, make up the narrative of Our Portion of Hell. This reprint edition includes twenty-nine documentary photographs and an insightful new afterword by the author. There, he discusses the making of the book and reflects upon the difficult truth that although the civil rights struggle, once so immediate, has become history, many of the core issues that inspired the struggle remain as urgent as ever.
Download or read book The Chaneysville Incident written by David Bradley and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 655 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the PEN/Faulkner: “Rivals Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon as the best novel about the black experience in America since Ellison’s Invisible Man” (The Christian Science Monitor). Brilliant but troubled historian John Washington has left Philadelphia, where he is employed by a major university, to return to his hometown just north of the Mason–Dixon Line. He is there to care for Old Jack, one of the men who helped raise him when he was growing up on the Hill, an old black neighborhood in the little Pennsylvania town—but he also wants to learn more about the death of his father. What John discovers is that his father, Moses Washington, left behind extensive notes on a mystery he was researching: why thirteen escaped slaves reached freedom in Chaneysville only to die there, for reasons forgotten or never known at all. Based on meticulous historical research, The Chaneysville Incident explores the power of our pasts, and paints a vivid portrait of realities such as the Underground Railroad’s activity in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, and the phenomenon of enslaved people committing suicide to escape their fate. This extraordinary novel, a finalist for the National Book Award, was described by the Los Angeles Times as “perhaps the most significant work by a new black male author since James Baldwin dazzled in the early ’60s with his fine fury,” and placed David Bradley in the front ranks of contemporary American authors.
